I have used them since the early 2000's. Cryptohippie is the real deal, like a well-kept secret. They are rarely listed on VPN rankings. Very fast, very private, for those willing to pay a few more $$.
Just signed up for this site. I used to be a subscriber from Japan a number of years ago but was disappointed with the slow speed and complicated setup procedure. Not anymore. Speeds are faster than any I've experienced thus far. The setup can be a bit more complicated than other VPNs but their helpdesk will walk you through it. I'm just not very computer savvy. They are quite a bit more expensive than the competition which can be a bit off putting, but it's worth it. You get what you pay for and CryptoHippie does deliver. I feel protected. I'm a happy camper and will be parking here for awhile.
